Sarcophagi (singular: sarcophagus) were coffins, most commonly carved in stone, and usually displayed above ground, though they could also be buried.

History

19th century

Several Egyptian sarcophagi were on display at the Great Museum in Kensington, London, in 1886. A few more sarcophagi were in The Depot. Housed within them were Skeletal Mummy Monsters. A more elaborate sacrophagus was inside the Tomb of Abu Simbel, which housed Princess Kiya, the last consort of Pharaoh Ramesses II.

In Whitechapel, London, noted industrialist and socialist Isibod Brunel was buried in a sarcophagus housed in his crypt.

According to some accounts, once London was liberated from the evil Lord Palethorn, Princess Kiya returned to her sarcophagus along with her new-found love, Sir Daniel Fortesque.

13th century

Some accounts allege that Princess Kiya and Sir Daniel Fortesque used a time machine to travel back in time, but were tragically separated during the journey. Once Sir Dan was back in his own timeline, he needed to retrieve the heart of his love in order to brew a Body Swap Potion. To that end, the fairies of Gallowmere teleported him into Kiya's tomb in Egypt, where he found her in a sarcophagus. It was different from her previous one and bore depictions of Dan's skull, the skull of Gallowmere, Dan-hand, and the Iron Slugger.
